At this moment, Hong Hai also came back and reported to Qian Guoyu that many Chinese had decided to go to the farm. Of course, there were many people in the whole body that could not count the number of people gathered in the end. However, Hong Hai was very confident and would never be as low as 1,000 people. Of course, this was mainly due to the prestige and influence of the Zhang family in Java. The Zhang family came forward to support the People's Army, which made many Chinese believe that the People's Army could protect them. In addition, the People's Army's performance in repelling the natives also played a certain role.

At this time, people gathered in the square one after another, and Qian Guoyu asked Hong Hai to pull all the vehicles from the Zhang family shop over, because these vehicles will definitely be used after a while.

When Hong Hai was about to leave, the priest and Li Lihua led a group of children over. Li Lihua had already changed into a tight narrow-sleeved long skirt, a white sun hat, and several servants were following behind him, carrying several boxes. When Hong Hai saw this, he hurriedly greeted the priest, saluted him, and said, "Father Faria, have you decided to go to the farm, too? That's great."

Father Faria smiled and said, "No, I will stay here, and I will not go there. The Lord will bless His most faithful servants. Miss Christine and these children who go to the farm, and I hope you will take good care of them."

Hong Hai hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Mr. Smith and our master are old friends. Miss Li came to the farm and was of course our distinguished guest, and she would definitely be the best hospitality."

Li Lihua also bowed to Hong Hai and said, "Mr. Hong, you have caused you trouble."

Hong Hai hurriedly said, "If it is there, Miss Li is a distinguished guest that we can't even invite. However, the conditions on the farm are not as good as here. I also have to ask Miss Li to take care of her more."

At this time, Li Lihua came to Qian Guoyu again and said, "Mr. Major, I'm sorry, I was so excited just now. I blame you for your mistakes. Thank you for saving me and these children. I will trouble you to take care of you in the future."

Qian Guoyu said: "No need, these are our tasks. You can go to the square first and wait for a while. I will arrange two cars for you later."

Li Lihua nodded and said, "Thank you."

Hong Tao sent them all the way to the square, and then returned to Qian Guoyu. Qian Guoyu then asked what the girl named Li Lihua originated. Hong Tao was very clear, so he told Qian Guoyu in detail.

It turned out that Li Lihua's father, Qiao Smith, was a British businessman, but their family has been doing business in Java for more than 60 years. Now it has formed a family. By Li Lihua's generation, it has been the fourth generation. After decades of operation, it has formed a commercial operation with Java as the core, radiating India and China, and accumulating huge wealth. Although it is not as good as the Zhang family, it is also a top business family in Java. Since this family has been operating in Asia for many years, it is not dispelled from intermarriage with locals. Li Lihua's mother is a Javanese with the surname Li, and Li Lihua's Chinese name is actually based on her mother's surname.

Although the Smith family runs in Java, it does not completely cut off its ties with Europe. When children reach 10-13 years old, they will be sent to Europe to study and then return to Java when they become adults. Of course, some of their children will stay in Europe and operate the family's industry in Europe.

Miss Li Lihua was sent to Europe to study at the age of 12. Two years ago, when she was 18, she returned to Java. However, she seemed not very interested in running the family business. She was very enthusiastic about charity and education. She managed a hospital and a school of the Smith family in Batavia. This church was built by the Smith family in the name of Miss Li Lihua and hosted some local orphans. Li Lihua often came to the church to teach these orphans. Therefore, Li Lihua was still well received in the local area.

Finally, Hong Tao also told Qian Guoyu that although Miss Li Lihua is 20 years old, she is not married yet and has not even been engaged. However, she comes from a wealthy family, has outstanding appearance and is knowledgeable. Moreover, the Smith family does not dispel intermarriage with locals, so naturally attracted many suitors, including some Chinese and local natives. Even Zhang Zhenxun had the idea of ​​marrying the Smith family. Because the Smith family comes from the UK, has a very strong status in Java, and has a lot of competition with the Zhang family in business, and there are some shopping mall fights. However, Zhang Zhenxun did not want to continue fighting with the Smith family like this. Therefore, she hopes to resolve the conflict between the two parties through marriage with the Smith family and resolve the commercial disputes between the two families through negotiations and negotiations. Moreover, marriage with the Smith family will be of great help to enhance the Zhang family's status in Java.

Now Zhang Zhenxun has 6 sons, two people who are about the same age as Li Lihua and have no marriage. However, the conditions provided by the Smith family's husband are too high, and they require the Zhang family to make a lot of concessions in the business field, but they do not give in. Of course, Zhang Zhenxun cannot accept this, so he did not promote this marriage. However, the Zhang family still has a good impression of Li Lihua's character.

After listening to Qian Guoyu, he also had a general understanding of Li Lihua. In fact, building a hospital and opening a school is also very common among wealthy families. Families or businessmen who have accumulated wealth to a certain extent will invest in some social welfare affairs to gain a good reputation for themselves. After all, fame is also a very important intangible asset. However, Li Lihua’s concern about the safety of children just now was not pretending.

At this time, some people joined the team to go to the farm one after another. Before departure, the final count was 1,833 people, including 126 Europeans, 61 local natives, and the rest were all Chinese. Of course, there were almost 1,000 people unwilling to go with the People's Army. Some of them decided to take the risk to go back to Batavia, while a few insisted on staying in the town and not leaving.

Qian Guoyu did not force this, but he had already explained the benefits and consequences of the decisions he made. Hong Tao also brought all the vehicles in the shop, and there were 12 vehicles brought by the people, and there were 52 vehicles in total, and there were 87 donkeys, horses and animals in total.

Qian Guoyu first divided two cars to Li Lihua and the children, and the other 10 cars were assigned to load the elderly and weak children, and distributed some of the elderly and weak to other vehicles. After all the distribution was allocated, the People's Army led everyone to set off and rushed to the farm.

Nothing happened along the way. After more than two hours, a group of people arrived at the farm. Zhu Shoushan, who was left behind, had already received the news. Because he knew that Li Lihua had also come to the farm, he did not dare to neglect it. Of course, he knew the grudge between the Zhang family and the Smith family. Now that Li Lihua came to his own farm, it was an opportunity for the Smith family to release goodwill, so he naturally had to receive Li Lihua well.

So Zhu Shoushan came out to greet Li Lihua in person and arranged two rooms for Li Lihua on the farm, one for Li Lihua and the other for the children she brought with her. Qian Guoyu also handed over all the arrangements from the others to Zhu Shoushan. In the past few days, the farm has built many simple houses to accommodate this group of people.

However, living in a farm, you must have several regulations on the provisions of Annun. First, you can only move in designated areas. The inner city of the farm, as well as the barracks and sentinels of the People's Army are prohibited from entering; second, you must go to and from the farm or leave the farm, and you must go through the corresponding procedures; third, the property and supplies that everyone carries are responsible for the care of, and the farm is not responsible, but livestock and vehicles are arranged and managed in a unified manner and can be requisitioned. If there is any damage, compensation will be made at the price.

; Fourth, it is strictly forbidden to urinate or defecate in camps or in the wild, but to go to a specially built toilet. Each person's tent and surrounding hygiene is responsible for each person; Fifth, the food is uniformly supplied by the farm, fire is prohibited in the camp, and unboiled water is strictly prohibited; Sixth, if you are sick, you should report to the medical office immediately and receive treatment, and you will also undergo regular physical examinations; Seventh, you obey the management of the farm, and the farm will organize personnel to conduct management and inspections of the camp. Those who violate the return regulations will have the right to expel them.

After hearing this, everyone had no objection. In fact, these regulations were not excessive and were all managed normally. Even if they came to the farm to request shelter, they could not have too high requirements.

Zhu Shoushan then arranged personnel to register and number the personnel who moved into the farm one by one, and issued each person a license plate, and then arranged residence for them, etc. The People's Army was only responsible for maintaining order.

After explaining everything, Qian Guoyu came to the command center and reported all the experience to Li Lixin. However, Li Lixin told Qian Guoyu that Zhang Zhijun had the latest news from Batavia City.

According to the inside notice arranged by the Zhang family in the Governor's Office, the British side has made a decision to send warships from Xinjiapo to Badavia to help the Dutch colonial authorities fight against the East China government.

It turns out that the attitude of the Governor General of Badavia towards the East China government is divided into two factions. One faction advocates that the East China government should be tough, and immediately recruits troops, attacks farms, and solves the problem by force. Those who hold this claim are soldiers, some European merchants and local forces in Java; the other faction advocates easing, believing that the chance of winning a war with the People's Army is not great. Once the failure is serious, it should negotiate with the East China government and immediately stop Java's anti-Chinese behavior. This faction is civilian officials, Chinese merchants, and some European merchants, while Governor Rosblu is indecisive and in a dilemma.

But after Britain decided to intervene, the calls from the hardliners suddenly rose and overwhelmed the ease of voices. Rosblu also had great hope for Britain, so he immediately ordered the recruitment of troops from all over Java, and only after the British warships arrived in Java, they would attack the farm.
